WE WIN AGAIN.
THE NANSPIRLD'S DOwNRD YESTERDAY IN

Akron Again Defeats Columbus Kalamazoo
Beats Zanssvills and Stsubenvils
Wins Her Third From
SandaSky.

The third and last game between Wheel
ing and Mansfield yesterday was won by
the home club without puch trouble, as
they took the lead from the start, and al
most succeeded in shutting the visitors
out Mallory pitched a great game up to
the ninth, the Ohio boys only succeeded
in getting one hit off his delivery, but in
the last they pounded the ball in great
style and came dangerously near tieing
the score. With man on third, and an
other on second, and only two runs needed
TO even the game, Grumbling ended the
agony by hitting to Bailey, who threw him
out at first The game was very well
played on both sides, but the Wheeling
boys got the best of it this time, both at
the bat and in the field and won with
hands down.
The Mansfield team played good strong
game the three days they were here,
and left the impression that they
know the points of base ball as we'll as
any club that has been here this season.
The heavy hitting and sharp fielding of the
Green Stockings, however, is a conumdrum
to all of them, and it is no disgrace to drop
two out of three to such club.
Wright played again at first for Wheel
ing and did good work, making several
difficult stops OF badly thrown halls. lie
would be great addition to the club, but
does not care to play regularly on account
Of other business engagements.
The score yesterday was as follows.

THE GREATEST YET.
\ scheme to Consolidate All the Cath
Interests of the Northwest.

4 scheme to Consolidate All the Cattle
Interests of the Northwest.
ST LOUIS, May 25.--A local paper gives
an account Of a gigantic scheme to cOnSoli-
date all cattle interests of the Northwest
and form a company which shall control
So, 5,OOO,OOO worth of cattle and grazing
lands.
1t seems 10 have originated with the
Wyoming Stock Association, of Cheyenne,
and is the OutgrOwth of the combination OF
the smaller Cattlemen into companies,
which has been going on for several years.
This scheme has been formed for organ
izing the largest cattle company ever
known. controlling hundreds Of thousands
of cattle, and ranges larger than many
States The failure OF the Swan Bros
brought matters to L focus rather unex-
pectedly. The plan is 10 unite the
Wyoming, Colorado, Eastern Utah, West
cm Nebraska, Southern Montana and
Southern Dakota ranches into one gigantic
company, each absolutely Surrendering
his individual herd and ranch, and receiy-
ing propOrtiOnate amount OF stock in re-
turn.
A similar association has been recently
formed in Texas, but one Of far less extent
and incomplete in Its organization. The
danger of throwing upon the market q
large amount of stock ut IN untavOrable
time will thus be entirely Obviated and
such disasters as followed the Indian Ter
ritOry sales rendered impossible. Periodical
depreSSiOnS neceSsitating weaker ranchmen
to sell unmatured stock ut ruinOuS prices,
have been disastrous at times, and this
consolidation will in q great measure, if
not entirely, relieve this.
Fear OF disastrous consequences of the
Swan failure compelled the cattle men to
take immediate action, and delegates were
sent to New York, London and Edinburgh
TO impress upon the capitalists of these
cities who agreed to 20 into the enterprise
the necessity of immediate action, which
they have done with cOmmendable aCtiv-
ity. The following are connected with the
enterprise: MeSsrs. Sturgis, Lane, Carey,
Davis, Olifie and Clarke, ofCheyenne, and
Ulrlcus and Havemeyer, of New York, to-
gether with number OF Scotch and Eng
lish capitalists, and some from Boston and
philadelphia. These gentlemen already
control fully half the stock ia Wyoming
and have the support of nearly all the
rest of that Territory. The cattle will be
appOrtiOned TO the ranges, the water sup
ply fairly divided, and the productive re-
gion largely increased.

straining Of the relations between the

BILE settlement of the great labor question.
Secretary Richard Katzenmeyer. Of New
York, read the report of the Board Of
Trustees, a lengthy document, setting forth
the relations Of employees and employers,
expressing the opinion that anything like
an attempt at uniformly regulating the

tions of the association, but must be LEFT to
the local associations; advising the estab-
lishment of Bureau Of Labor Statistios;
recommending the appropriation of 5000
towards deiraying the expenses Of the
Michigan brewers in the fight against pro-
hibition, and declaring strongly against
high license.
The report showed that 80 brewers
throughout the country have pledged
themselves to protect each other during
strikes by refraining from shipping their
beer 10 markets affected by boycott. The
siguers OF the pledge represent ~ per cent
Of the malt liquors annually produced in
the United States.
